National Day of Action: White Silence is Violence

We will be gathering at MONUMENT PARK, near the police station on Division and Fulton, for a peaceful demonstration breaking white silence.

Grand Rapids is anxious to annex itself from problems faced in nearby urban areas, but their action is necessary to save the lives of our neighbors. We will not remain silent as police brutality, racial profiling continues unchecked in our society. White silence is violence and we choose not to remain complicit in institutionalized racism. Please join us.

Maurice Mitchell (Cleveland Based Organizer) "Where there's black leadership, they should be supporting their work or doing complimentary actions. Where there's not, that not an excuse to not act. Do it anyhow. White people's silence and lack of action is why we are in this condition. "
